IMPORTANT OPERATING TIPS/NOTES
The printer will only recognize that media is present if the "Feeder Ready Lever" has been pushed forward.
Note on HD-CX printers:
Setting up the HD-CXENVL-FDR properly, to achieve consistent envelope delivery to the printer, is imperative; as
the printer does not feature a "retry" in the manual feed tray. This means that if the printer's feed roller cycles
once and does not feed an envelope into the printer, the printer immediately considers it a jam and stops.
For this reason, it is important to run the HD-CXENVL-FDR at 70% speed or more on most envelopes. It is also
important that the feeder is maintained properly to deliver consistent envelope feeding with small gaps between
envelopes on the delivery table.
We strongly recommend setting the feeder up away from the printer to ensure consistent feeding before trying to
print envelopes. If inconsistent feeding develops, the printer will stop more frequently. These stoppages result in
user intervention as described on the previous page, but also results in the printer recalibrating temperatures
more often, which slows printing down considerably.
Suggested Feeder Speed Settings
Although there is no exact speed specification for every job, the feeder will work with a wide range of envelope
sizes at a wide range of speeds. As a general rule, the feeder will work best with the speed control set at
approximately 50% to 70% of maximum.
As a general rule, larger envelopes will require a higher speed setting.
Suggestions for speed settings on the envelope feeder:
•
#10 envelopes, (landscape orientation) - 50% to 60 % speed
•
6 x 9 envelopes (landscape) - 50% to 75% speed
•
9 x 12 or 10 x 13 envelopes (either orientation) - 75% to 100% speed.
NOTE: The speed settings, above, are just recommendations. Some experimenting may be needed. Different
envelope types/orientations, feeder setup and condition are all factors that can affect operation.
Clean the white feed belts regularly, to ensure best results.
Feeder Ready Lever Function
The "Feeder Ready Lever" mechanism is used to interrupt the printer's
"paper present" flag.
When the Feeder Ready Lever is in the forward (to the left) position, the
printer's "paper present" flag is depressed by this mechanism and the
printer detects this condition as "paper present".
When the "Feeder Ready Lever" is in the back (to the right) position, the
printers "paper present" flag is released by this mechanism and the
printer detects this condition as "out of paper" (MP Tray Empty).
How to Pause/Resume Print
If you want to pause printing, simply move the "Feeder Ready Lever" back (right) and the printer will consider this
an envelope out condition. The printer display will indicate that you need to "install paper" in the MP Tray.
When you are ready to resume printing, simply move the "Feeder Ready Lever" back to the left (forward) and the
printer will resume operation.
